As someone who grew up around a brand of evangelical toxic paternalism I must say, controlling men feel threatened when they see people living free. It asks them to challenge their stereotypes about masculinity in a way that is very uncomfortable—they learn how weak their version of a man really is.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

My time at the @utaustin.bsky.social College of Ed was life-changing. I'm a better education scholar because I had classes with brilliant profs who had appointments in Black, Latino, and Gender Studies.

Capitulating to racist, misogynistic, and homophobic attacks isn't the way. Do better UT.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

- Everyday we must remind people that gestapo agents and their enablers are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleansing. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

From WaPo firing Karen Attiah to CBS anointing Bari Weiss, fascism and the oligarchy have completely taken over legacy media.

Support hard-hitting, independent and/or nonprofit media—Drop Site News, Zeteo, Capital B News, The Marshall Project, ProPublica, The Xylom—there are so many others.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Next week City Council will hear a pair of legislation that formally denounces the Trump Administration's attempt to terrorize our city with militarized units, while codifying Sanctuary City status protections. Portlanders have been waiting for a formal expression of City's Council will on this.

Noteworthy: the then-chief of the Portland Police Bureau, Jami Resch—who authorized officers to obscure their name badges and personnel numbers in exchange for arbitrary numbers shortly before resigning less than six months into the position—is NOW the chief of the Springfield Police Department.
